The kids from the Legends are all talking about going to Silver Grove together, and making a run at winning the HS State tournament as juniors & seniors.

 

Is that a joke? It has to be - right? Where are the kids from? Is there a roster?

 

Did Legends play at Kings island tournament.

Legends did not play at the Kings Island tournament last weekend. We played in the Wildcat Memorial Showdown, sponsored by Ohio Basketball.com (same people as Bearcat Classic). We won the 7th grade division, beating Third ICE in the Championship game, 53 - 43.

 

This weekend we will be at the National GearUp Tournament in Indianapolis. It is a loaded field of 24 teams with programs from George Hill, Meanstreets, All Ohio Red, Team Teague, etc. in the 7th grade division. So, this should be a pretty good event.

Is Scott Draud's son playing with Legends? My kid saw a legends team picture on twitter yesterday, and he said that Scotty Draud was in the picture.

 

Does anyone have a roster for Legends?

Congrats to The Legends for winning the Indy event. These boys are having a great season.

 

ABB, Just my perspective. These kids are 13 years old and parents may not agree to have kids names listed on a message board. I know you don't mean any harm. But, I don't think I would list my players and I they may not want to list any also.

What would the issue possibly be?

I. Salter, B. Huddleston, C. McGuire, M. McGuire, P. Kremer, C. Jefferson, J. Hryczak, J. Moser, J. Hicks, N. Green, L. Lane, and a couple others I'm not sure of.

They are minors and at 13 years old may not have had the discussion with parents as to how to handle sharing information about their kids.

 

*** Note ***

That is just MY opinion. I know the question has been asked multiple times. They may feel the same as me and may offer it up.

Legends 7th grade won the GOLD bracket of the National GearUp tournament in Indianapolis this past weekend. The team went 5 - 0, beating NU Vision Ballers 50 - 21 and BBC7 56 - 33, in pool play. In the GOLD bracket play, they beat Team Teague 53 - 43, George Hill 50 - 46, and Ind Elite 2K20 52 - 42.

 

Legends are now 53 - 9 on the season and have won 10 tournaments around the Midwest (Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati, Gatlinburg, Indianapolis, and Columbus) since February.

Thanks. Do you know where these kids will go to HS? Are any of them playing HS ball?

Not sure.

Legends finished Runner-Up in the Midwest Youth Nationals in Louisville this past weekend. We played some good teams along the way to get to the Finals. It was a great field of teams in the tournament.

 

Game 1 Beat CKY Magic (Lex) 55 - 51

Game 2 Beat Hidden Gems (Columbus, Ohio) 43 - 10

Game 3 Beat Ky Dream (Lou area) 64 - 20

Game 4 Beat ICE (Lex area) 44 - 40

Game 5 Beat Louisville Rising Stars 38 - 31

Game 6 Lost to George Hill (Indianapolis) 43 - 39

 

We had played a couple of these teams before. (we have beaten ICE 4 times on the season, but they are usually competitive games. We are now 1 - 1 vs George Hill with each of us winning by 4pts) It was good for us to play some of these teams that we hadn't played before. CKY Magic has a good group of players with real size (multiple kids over 6'3") and quick guards. Hidden Gems was a quick team. Ky Dream caught us when we played one of our best games of the season. And, Louisville Rising Stars, was easy to see why they finished in the Top 10 at 6th grade D2 Nationals last year. They were good as well.

 

Fun tournament. Very well run tournament. Venues at Mid American & Hoops were great. Officiating was good & consistent. Games started on time. Pools were pretty balanced. My only disappointment was that we didnt get a chance to play The Ville 2020 who won D1 13U AAU State this year. They were in a separate bracket, and lost to George Hill by 6pts in the semis. They are very good, and we were hoping to get to match up and compete with them because they are so good.

 

Good Luck to The Ville at AAU Nationals (D1) and good luck to George Hill at USBA Nationals in Atlanta.

UHA North

The Legends made it thru pool play at AAU 13U Nationals undefeated, 3 - 0. The margin of victory in each game was 35, 24, and 12, beating teams from Brookly, NY, Louisiana, and Georgia. Bracket play starts today and things will get much tougher. But, the kids have played great and look to continue playing that way.

An update on Legends. We started AAU Nationals bracket play on Monday with a 64 - 50 win over Myld Hornets in a game that we didn't play our best basketball. But, in bracket play, you try to survive and advance. This win got us into the Sweet 16.

 

Today, we played New Birth Warriors, and won a slugfest, 58 - 52. New Birth had scored 101pts in their opening bracket game, and we "held" them to 52. Our kids were great. We were great on defense and efficient on offense. This win puts us in the Elite 8, guaranteeing us a Top 8 finish in AAU'S D2 National Tournament.

 

We have the quarterfinal game on Tues at 130pm against Mass. Commanders, and hopefully a Semifinal game on Tuesday night at 8pm.

 

Love coaching this group of kids.

How did Legends do?
